Dear Friend,

COVID cases are continuing to increase in Arkansas.

• 80% of Arkansas hospital beds are full.
  
  
• 95% of Arkansas ICU beds are full.
  
  
• But, only 35% of Arkansans are fully vaccinated.  

After consulting with a medical professional, I strongly encourage you to get vaccinated.

The FDA has determined that the vaccines available today are safe and effective.

For up-to-date and accurate vaccine-related medical information—including where to get it—please contact Arkansas Department of Health online or by phone at 1 (800) 985-6030.

As a state, and as a nation, we have made significant progress defeating COVID, but we can’t fully return to everyday life without strong community defense. It takes each of us.
